Hello, which is the right one of the 4 species? M. analis, devius, miki and mutabilis should exist in Germany. Could it be a M. mutabilis? Thank you, Marion Photos: 13.06.2010, Germany, Saxony, wood glade Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [95.75Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 20-06-2010 21:28 |

Yes, mutabilis would be a good option, but there is another species (M. myrmicae) which cannot be separated from this species, even with the specimen in hand. It can only be identified in the pupal stage! So for this one the correct name would be Microdon mutabilis/ myrmicae! Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
